Score on Super Bowl Sunday with Social Media

Brands on social media can find a way to make a hit on Super Bowl Sunday

Local brands have a chance to pick up steam—and perhaps go viral—any given Super Bowl Sunday.

Focus on Facebook and Twitter during the game.

Parties are getting smaller for the 2017 Super Bowl as fans now have big screens at home and an instant ability to tap into an online party via social media. During the Super Bowl, fans look for real-time news on Twitter and their friends’ reactions on Facebook. Marketers should care about these social channels because that’s where consumers are focusing a significant portion of their time on Super Bowl Sunday.

When you realize the primary focus is going to be on Facebook and tweeting, it gives your marketing department a targeted focus in advance.A possible example is posting a branded picture every time a team scores a touchdown.However, anything that engages with your followers/friends and offers a positive, ideally fun, branding opportunity is great.Also encourage all of your employees to share the posts in real time during the game.
